After arriving to the station, one CMA crew-member told us the otter pup was probably around two months old, and that while baby otters can be left alone for a few hours, anything longer than that may mean he's lost, or has been abandoned.

The crew took the pup to the aquarium to ensure his safety, and to treat a potential infection in one of his eyes.

In the meantime, 10 News promised to keep an eye out for the otter's family, and will contact our friends at the aquarium should they turn up!
